A DIAMOND DRILL representative made
an underground trip through the
Youngstown mine, on Wednesday morn
ing, in company with Capt. Thos. Ball,
Assistant Superintendent T.. j. Gilbert
and Ottd +. Rebel. The mine is looking
even better than ever before and all
work is going on very nicely. The main
work at present is directed to the com
mencement OF a third level, which is be-
ing commenced from number four shaft,
the depth Of which in one hundred and
sixty feet; it will be lowered ten feet
deeper for a stump. The work 81 taking
out the false bottom between the second
and third level is going on, this is being
done to allow the cage TO reach the bot
tom OF the workings. Ii isexpected that
this work will be accomplished by Mon
day next, when active mining will be COM
menced from the third level, and all work
on the second level will be discontinued
with the exception Of two Slopes. The
| third level will be started with under end
stopping, which can be carcied on more
rapidly and much cheaper. The third
level will be worked in the same manner
as the one above and cover the same
ground. The hanging we'll ~ quartz
on the north and the vein has been cross
cut 229 feet without encountering the
foot wall. The total length of the work
ing is 1886 feet.
The Lockwood exploration on the
north half of the northwest quarter OF
section thirty-three, 1892 has develop
ed something that is entirely new in this
locality, but just what it il, is the ques-
ton those interested would lile to
know. The material encounted is a
black substance has every appearance
OF iron ore, other than il is black i'm
stead 81 red or blue; il is very heavy,
A gentleman fully competent to pass an
opinion ON such things, says he believes
il To be merchantable graphite and at
tributes it's weight 10 it's being SO very
dense. A sample was sent TO Assayer
Calverley, who viii examine il for iron.
Mr.. Lockwood IL not exactly ipe search
OF deposit Of graphite, but wants iron,
and will continue the work to that end,
IL such is to be accomplished. The in
dications Of iron ore are the best and
the interested parties are very sanguine
OF success. LATER.-The analysis by
Mr.. Calverley, on the sample, brought
ont the following: Graphite, eighty-fve
per cent; iron, five per cent. and ten
per cent mixed graphite and silica, chief
ly graphite. This is pretty near the
clear article, therefore il must peccssari-
, ly be merchantable The extent OF the
deposit now remains TO be ascertained.
The Paint River mine has ceased ship
ping and probably no more ore will be
sent out from the property this season.
II is not known why the mine was shut
down, the management being "mmu" ON
the subject. 'B shaft viii be put down
an additional depth III fifty or one hun
dren feet, but beyond this no other work
will be carried ON. Riher, Penglaize <
Co.'s contract, Of course cease. The
; exact cause for shutting down the
property will probably never lie made
; public, which will cause no end OF rumors
Co be hoated. The mine Is said To be in
good condition.

who will at once put IN machinery and

cutting the continuation Of the Great
Western vein. The gentlemen ar,
